G'day Cheri
Thanks for the tip and I've now joined the Azorces Project (hopefully).
Cheers Tony PS - Woops just realised I didn't include the bit about "Cheri
told me to."

Update: FTDNA said due to unforeseen issues, the site is still down and
they hope to be up tomorrow morning. So if you are trying to log in at
FTDNA, it's not you, it's them.

Hi Cheri,
Yes, that is correct. I checked the tracking number this morning. Should be
here the 29 or 30.

That would be correct. Didn't you tell me you placed the order on Dec.
20th? They told me that yesterday they were assembling kits for orders
placed on Dec. 20th.
The end of the year sale is crazy. The results start to come back any time
now (depending on when the kit was mailed back).
My kit finally started its shipping trip.

They had something in place for the Ashkenazi Jewish. I think that was
mentioned in Roberta Estes' blog in the previous email.
I think my dad got maybe 30 more matches. I checked to see if there were
any familiar names from the list and didn't see any.

They have been working on this change during the month of May, so I did
mean May 1st.
For more information on how this process took effect and if you downloaded
your matches to do a comparison, see Roberta Estes' DNA Explained blog

The revamped Family Finder is in place. The new matches will be in the 4th
or 5th to remote cousin range. If you did not previously download your old
matches, you may be able to find your new ones by filtering those after May
1st.

Yes, I will let the lists know when it happens.

mtDNA matches are different than Y or autosomal (Family Finder) matches.
With mtDNA, people need to test the Full Mitochondrial Sequence test (HVR1,
HVR2, and the Coding Region (CR)).
After testing, about 50% of your matches with be within 1000 years with
mtDNA testing. With a genetic distance

I agree with suggestions 1 and 2, as long as the Population Finder bar is
an Opt-In option. I haven't found the Population Finder information very
useful so far (I show up as 100% Western European), but it is interesting.
I also wonder if it is possible to expand the search function in

side/Mom's side) etc

Please email FTDNA at i...@ftdna.com and tell them you'd like to see the

As for the Gedcom thing, I suspect it's something with the coding. Some
programs default to UTF-8 and others don't. Then there's saving it as ANSI
or ANSEL. But
